1. "Nothing that's worth knowing can be taught" - Oscar Wilde
The most important aspects to life and how to live with other people are not taught in schools or through other people. The knowledge that matters on and on through life is learned only through experience. Therefore, it can be said that experience is the best way to learn practical knowledge.
2. "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."
Rather than to make mistakes while talking, it is often more wise to keep quiet and not say anything. Even with words, a good, perfect reputation could probably be ruined.
3. "The surest way to remain poor is to be an honest man."
Success is perhaps achieved with some white-lies in life. By being honest all the time, it usually does not help anyone but keep the low status.
